Just thought I would spread the word that Mick is doing a live chat online on Sunday 10th November! The chat starts at 2.30pm Pacific time and Mick will come on at 3.00pm. (I believe we are 8 hours ahead so we would need to be there at 10.30pm - someone correct me if I am wrong) The only place to access the Live chat will be from the link on the bottom of the homepage at www.mickfleetwood.com After you choose high or low speed you will see SIGN UP (OR JOIN) MICK FLEETWOOD LIVE CHAT. Then just click the link!!
Mick will enter the Chat LIVE from the LOVE RIDE in Castaic Lake, California following his performance with his band MICK FLEETWOOD'S BIG MOJO. The event is expected to raise $1 million dollars for charities. Over 20,000 motorcyclists are expected for this Harley Davidson of Glendale event. The Tonight Show's Jay Leno is Grand Marshall and the show also features Sheryl Crow and Jefferson Starship.#

This'll be a good chance to nail him for definite responses on things like the album and the 'world' tour. As definite as we might hope!

I've signed up! Can't wait! I hope there is a good turn out!
Last night I was in the chat room and Lynn (Mick's wife) came in and talked with about 8 of us for a bit. It was awesome!!!! She was very sweet and excited about the site. I'm so glad to see that they are so involved with the site!

Hi Macgang,
To my regret, I won't be able to sign up for the chat with Mick.
Would someone be so kind to ask him the following questions in no particular order:
1. Why were Fireflies and The Farmer's Daughter left off the Very Best of cd? These are possibly some of the greatest songs you recorded with that familiar Mac harmony trademark!
2. Will you please consider to perform the following songs again live: The entire Tusk album (especially all of Stevie's songs and Lindsey's Save Me A Place, Silver Springs, songs from the Buckingham Nicks album like Frozen Love, the sadly neglected Fireflies and The Farmer's Daughter.
3. When will the next batch of DVD-Audios (Fleetwood Mac White Album, Tusk and Mirage) be released, and will there be a similar DVD-Audio made for the 1980 Fleetwood Mac Live album, preferably containing an uncut complete performance from the Tusk tour along with Fireflies, One More Night and The Farmer's Daughter?
Thanks in advance for asking these questions!!
Oh and before I forget: please make sure that us fans are craving for a new studio DOUBLE cd, not just a single disc!! :nod:
Greetings,
Marcel (BuckMacNicks)

Please ask him some of these questions since I will not be around:
What are some titles of songs from the new album!
AND BE SURE TO ASK HIM THE TITLE OF THE RECORD!.
Also...ask if the album will still be a double album.

I'll be there..I've been talking to the guy who runs Mick's site..and they are really expecting and hoping for a big crowd, so Mick and the rest of Fleetwood Mac will be encouraged to do more things like this in the future...it's really a great thing to do this, and I for one am really greatful!

I got booted early in the chat for calling everyone idiots.
It was boring though, and those toy-cop wanna moderators (shangri-la, and others) were annoying the hell outta me.

Hi, I caught the tale end of the chat with Mick and I didn't get to read anything Mick wrote.
Can someone be ever soo kind and fill me in?
What questions were asked that Mick answered and what were his answers? Thanks a bunch people!

LOL! That was you that said idiots?! I thought that was so funny. I can't remember what everyone was saying when you said that though. Yah I was getting a little annoyed at the "wannabe" moderators as well.
Does anybody really think that Mick answered the questions randomly? I don't think so. It seemed to me, he only answered questions about himself, and avoided questions about everything else except for a few questions. I just asked about his golf because I knew he would answer it, and he answered it like 30 minutes after I asked it - so to me that doesn't seem too random - more like picking and choosing.
But no disprespect to the man, he's great. And besides Stevie seems like the only one that wants to interact with the fans!

From those that I can remember he said
They are going to tour in the UK
The tour will probably start in early summer
Sara may be performed on the tour
They are going to have early ticket sales for members of site (I guess)
The album will probably be a double album (I think)
Stevie and Lindsey have equal songs on the album.
The album is nearly done - just post production left.

HE ANSWERED 2 OF MY QUESTIONS! I was shaking all over when i read "greatdarkwing" in yellow and caps! lol. My first question was one that I knew he would answer: "How are the twins, and is parenting harder in your 50's?". He answered, then asked if I has another question, so then I said "Whats the status of the new album?Complete?" He then said it was complete and they were finishing mixing it.
I was bored at times, but the minute my question was answered I was on adrenaline high!

Can I ask a question? How do you KNOW if you are a member of the site? I know when I got the Very Best thing and popped it in, I had to enter my email address and zip code (and I've not received one email either), so did doing that make me a member? Or do I have to do something else?
silversprings8
11-10-2002, 08:47 PM
Mine was the first question he answered! It was great.... I asked about the title of the new album...
he said they hadn't decided yet, but that they had 15 possibilities written on pieces of paper and posted on the wall of the studio..
15 possibilities!!! It could be anything!

I 'm not sure, but I think that just by registering with Mick's site you have access to the early ticket sales.

I dont believe I was being a "toy-cop moderator," I had been chatting with KNIGHT, in the chat room, last night, and there was only a few of us. We were asking questions about the rules, and he personally asked some of us who have been posting since the site opened, to remind all the newbies of some things and some rules, so there would be sanity in the chat.....I wasn't trying to be a moderator, I would never want a job like that, I was just doing what the MODERATOR asked us to do.....but I do like the nickname "toy cop moderator"....Thanks! :nod:

ShagriLaTrobl you did great. It was insane there, it could have been better but its only the first one. Hope theres more.
I got there late and fans where going crazy asking questions and would not let Mick answer anything. For me its too fast and decide to read the post (and that was difficult at times) mustly.

Maybe chats are a BAD idea and he should just post on the message board over there. People are insane in chats...and since people can't SEE each other, they never know when someone else is typing and when they press enter, the screen scrolls so dang fast!! LOL
What about the lady that kept telling Mick that she still loved him etc. What's up with that? I (and others)told her to quit and she left right after that. What a weirdo.

I totally noticed that, too, and it hacked me off. I love Mick and all, but you can bet he'll skip over questions about the Mac album to talk about golf and the wife and kiddies anytime. Like I care about those things! lol You were very shrewd to ask that, though. If I had known that he would sit there and ask keep asking people who's questions he answered "anything else"? "Anything else?" over and over again I would have asked a question about his lovely songwriting (lol) or "solo career."
It annoyed me that he would wait, like, 5 minutes for someone who's questions he already answered to think of another. No offense to those lucky enough to be asked something two or three times, it wasn't your fault Mick singled you out and spent a half an hour on three people!
It's great that he wanted to reach out to fans by doing a chat but I feel like it wasn't really all it could have been. The question timing was very confusing. They would say "Hold" and the whole board would be still for, like, 5 minutes while Mick "thought hard" about questions like "Do Stevie and Lindsey have the same number of songs on the album"? Then after he anwered, we were all left wondering, "Do we start asking questions again now?" No one let us know, except once, where Mick said "Fire away."
I hate to be so negative. Perhaps these will get better and, again, I do appreciate that he took the time to do it.

I totally agree. It annoyed me too, when he kept asking "anything else" forever. Half the time the person that asked it wasn't even in the chat anymore. Everytime he did that, I said to myself - What about all the rest of us and our questions? Then did you notice when he kept asking "anything else" and then the person would ask something he didn't want to answer (Like what Fireflies was about) he just ignored it and didn't answer it. There were definitely some questions I could have cared less about that he chose to answer. No offense to anyone but for example like when was "Two sticks and a Drum" going to air again. Um that's really interesting :o
Did anyone catch what he said when Barbara (I think) asked if Lindsey and Stevie had equal songs on the album. And he said "yes," something about seven wonders or something - like he was annoyed. Maybe I just didn't understand.
I don't want to be too negative either, it was great that he took the time out to do the chat in the first place.

I think that Knight booted her or he (who knows for sure) off the board and that's why they dissapeared so quickly.
I also think that is why Mick decided to end the chat there. If I remember correctly, he didn't even answer the last question.... someone asked if he wanted to say anything else to the fans and he said that he did.... but then the wierdo decided to speak and it was all over from there. It's to bad really.... :(

Well...I'm rather glad I didn't stay for all the madness!! I'm sure I didn't get "booted" off, just unfortunate timing from my *******(bleep)server. Anyway the most sensible thing would be to ask them to post a time limit for questions to be sent in by (eg. 3pm etc)...get Mick to think of the answers and reply by himself...or....draw names out of a hat and get those lucky folks to ask one question and get Micks one answer. Better still..lets just stick with The Ledge (MUCH more civilised!!!!)

.
What happened was Barbara kept asking that same question over and over (a pretty silly question imho). When mick eventually answered it, Barbara must have missed it.
She then kept asking "did he answer my question?". Someone basically told her "yes he did now shut up" (i think it was 7 Wonder)

When you say "you should have been quiet" i'll assume that you were talking about someone else, because i knew how to follow the rules. (well...other then calling people idiots. heh)
The thing is...i think most people did follow the rules. There were a few instances when people spoke when they were not supposed to, but i think it was because they were in the middle of writing something and didn't see the moderators message.
I wasn't really try to offend anyone, but all the...
"HUSH"
"STOP"
"------------------------------"
"quiet...let the man think"
...was very annoying.

Be fair. I think everyone was asking questions over and over in a hope they would be answered. I know I did. It was all moving so fast that she missed the answer. Also I don't see how it is a silly question. Give the woman a break

Chats are indeed a bad idea if you are a Fleetwood Mac fan who wants some details.
Chats are a good idea if you are Mick Fleetwood & you want to whip several hundred people into a frenzy so that they get in the habit of continually checking out your Web site (& installing your latest screensaver).
The entire thing was just one big Goofball City. After the chat, I pulled out the most recent newspaper interview with Mick, which had far more pertinent info in a few short paragraphs than 25 crazy goofball chats could pack into an entire day's worth of real-time insanity.
Barbara
11-11-2002, 12:57 PM
I agree with David. I thought it was a complete waste of time and left after spending an hour and learning nothing. And speaking of Mick's valuable time, he probably has a lot more spare time than any of us do. I'll ask my question on his message board and see if I can get an answer out of that Knight guy. :mad:
Barbara
P. S. The poster "BarbaraStevie" who kept asking over and over whether Lindsey and Stevie would have an equal number of songs on the new album WAS NOT ME! Posters were specifically requested not to repeat questions - an instruction that she totally ignored and none of the moderators did anything. Mick finally answered her.

I saw that answer and I took it a little differently. He answered yes to the question and then I believe he followed it with "will wonders never cease?" I think he was just joking - maybe making an allusion to the idea that they're actually getting along. ;)

It was nice of Mick to do the chat, but the Moderators really need to do a better job, about a whole load of things. Sure, they did warn people not to type etc and those who did got kicked out, but they seemed to be slightly "trigger-happy" and that resulted in some people being very unfairly kicked out..especially those who happened to for whatever reason re-login during a "silent moment", and then asked a question and then....whoosh!! "x has left the chatroom"...!!
Also, they need to make that screen A LOT bigger, and/or do something about the pace, it looked like all of FM-fandom had overdosed on Red Bull!!!

Well,
I noticed Mick was avoiding any direct questions about the new album and so I asked him if he'd seen Peter Green lately and surprise surprise he answered almost immediately!! I guess from his very quick reaction to that one that he could read all the questions put to him, and decided to play it safe with the easy ones!
:laugh: :laugh:
wetcamelfood
11-16-2002, 11:44 AM
I must agree with Madformac as I know many feel as though Mick is "getting involved" and "reaching out" and "wants to know what we think" but I can't say I'm optimistic about that. The Knight said in a recent post about how much Mick "really cares about what fans think/want" and how he "wants to get involved" BUT if that is the case, then why did he only answer what he (obvioulsy) wanted to and nothing more? It could be coincidence but if he does have another chat in the future, you'll notice the pattern in what he will and won't talk about (if you haven't already). I realize he's probably under some restrictions as to what he can leak about the new album etc. but if he's suppossedly being so open then why wouldn't they just do a straightforward Q & A so that way ALL of the fans he cares about have their chance to ask their questions AND get their answers? Why has that forum been set up so that Mick can go in ON HIS OWN and post his "news" and no one is allowed to respond/start new threads IN THAT FORUM? (or well, I guess you could but I think they've made it quite clear in the notes that if anyone does post anything in there it will be immediately deleted)
Now I'm not "trying to bash Mick", OK? I've always said I LOVE Mick AS A DRUMMER but I'm sorry, I think these are some things those particular fans that think how this is being "handled" over there is "good" & "true" should consider. JMHO though. :)

We (my employers, CricInfo.com) do online chats with famous sports personalities sometimes: it took us a while, but we figured out the best approach on IRC is to moderate the channel so only designated folks can speak, and ask for questions to be /msg'ed to the moderator for passing on to the interviewer. Makes for a much saner environment!
Obviously, this isn't necessarily possible on a Java chat...
